6) Remove gauge manifold valve quickly from service port of stop valve.
7) After refrigerant pipes are connected and evacuated, fully open all stop valves on both
sides of gas pipe and liquid pipe. Operating without fully opening lowers the perform-
ance and this causes trouble.
8) Refer to 1-3., and charge the prescribed amount of refrigerant if needed. Be sure to
charge slowly with liquid refrigerant. Otherwise, composition of the refrigerant in the
system may be changed and affect performance of the air conditioner.
